Do Anybody Know What Kind Of Exercise I Can Do To Burn Of The Loose Skin I'm Now Down 159 lbs Lost A Total Of 101 lbs I Really Don't Have The Money For Plastic Surgery So My Next Step Is To Try And Burn It Off Myself..

Once skin is stretched beyond its breaking point you are up a creek. Exercise will tone the underlying muscle but no exercise in the world can fix the hanging skin. You either learn to life with it or pay to have it removed. Also, while moisturizing is great for your skin, don't waste your money on lotions that say they'll tone you skin, they won't. Your skin is like a rubber band, it stretches and stretches, and stretches but eventually those stretchy fibers snap, once the rubber band is snapped there's no putting it back together.

Yup...unfortunate but tru

agrees...

Sorry to say but the above posts are 110% correct ... nothing burns loose skin. The only way is to have it surgically removed. You can increase your muscle mass under the skin which will fill in the sagging skin a bit. But once skin has been stretched beyond capacity you will have stretch marks and lose skin and it will never go back. Don't waste your money on all the gimics out there either... nothing but surgery works.

Yes, it's terrible that's true. I just paid $3500 out of pocket for my bypass and now I need to start saving immediately for the plastics I will need in the next couple years.

I'm young at 26 but since I weighed 377 at my highest I know I will have lots of excess skin. It can only stretch so much.

I really didn't think the skin would be a huge issue, I'm only half way to goal and EWWWWWWW!!!! TAKE IT OFF NOW!!!!! FYI they also have an anti-chaffing solid that looks like deodorant (got it at wal-Mart) gold Bond Friction Defense. I used it on the super humid Florida vacation...works pretty good if you're looking for something g besides powder.

Plastic surgery is the only answer. I hate my saggy arms but I'm not willing to live with it

I will have to check that out! Thanks! I'm thankful I haven't experienced any rash or anything. I am proactive and I think the thought grosses me out. I was laying down looking at my stomach last night and thinking of Adam Sandler in the movie Click. When he's flapping his flab LOL.

Really? What kind if lotion your using? I use the firming lotion & saw no results and I did it for like 3 months before WLS.

Loose skin has to do with skin elastisity...I talked to a plastics Dr....he told me surgery is my only option...firming cream doesn't work.
